we report the final thoughts from Shaun:

"Volunteers have responded to emergencies before, but no one was expecting coronavirus to impact our lives just as much as it has. Volunteers can make a huge difference, but high impact volunteer involvement requires skill, infrastructure and local leadership. This time, I hope we learn this lesson and continue to invest in volunteers".
